We finally arrived at the restaurant, which was called Le Poisson Gris.

"It means The Gray Fish in French, and it's a buffet," Felix told me

"How do you know French?" I asked him.

"I began learning it in college, but when I dropped out for YouTube, I stopped."

I shrugged, and we went inside. Couples and families were dining, and a long buffet train snaked around about half of the whole room. A stout man in a tuxedo greeted us.

"Bonjour madame, sire," he greeted us. "How may I help you?"

"A table for four, please," Felix said.

"Four?" I whispered in his ear.

He stayed quiet. I gave up as the waiter led us to our table.

Felix pulled out a chair for me, and I gratefully sat. He sat next to me and grabbed my hand.

"So… who's joining us?" I asked quietly.

He tried to ignore me again, but I demanded.

"Uh…" He gulped.

"Yes?" I asked, my stare boring down upon him.

He finally caved in. "A friend."

"Vanessa?" I questioned.

He nodded.

"But… I thought that you wanted to have a date night with me!" I exclaimed.

"Well… I also really wanted to see Vanessa…" He told me.

"And anyways, why were you so nervous when telling me?" I asked while flames of anger began to spread in my core.

"I didn't know how you'd react." He said simply.

"Well, I can't believe that you lied to me!" I whisper-shouted.

"Technically, I didn't-" He began, but was cut off when someone hugged him from behind.

"Hey, Felix!" Vanessa – or at least what I assumed to be her – exclaimed.

"Hi, Ness," he said sheepishly. "This is my girlfriend Marzia." He gestured to me.

She looked, and I swear that I could see her eyes get darker and colder for a second. Then, they lightened up and she smiled.

"Hi! Nice to meet you!" She said and stuck out her hand.

"Hey, Vanessa," I said and shook her hand.

Then, she introduced her boyfriend, who had been standing quietly behind her.

"This is James," she said. He smiled at Felix and I, and I smiled back.

"He's kind of quiet," she said.

Then, they sat down: Vanessa across from Felix, James across from me.

Felix began catching up with her; talking about what he had accomplished recently.

James and I stared awkwardly at each other.

"So…" I began quietly.

"Uh, so how are you?" He asked in a deep, quiet voice.

"I'm fine, how about you?" I asked.

"I'm great." He said with a small smile.

I smiled back. He seemed nice enough…

Suddenly, Felix stood up. "I'm famished, so I'm going to go get some food."

Vanessa stood up as well and followed him to the buffet. They got plates and waited in line. They were still chatting, and then, Vanessa put her hand on Felix's arm. This made me want to growl in rage, but of course I couldn't. I had suddenly lost my appetite, but I wanted to go up for food anyways to "supervise" them.

I went up there, temporarily forgetting about James. I was behind a tall man with a huge, red beard, but I got as close to the two as I possibly could. They hadn't noticed me yet. Whew. It was hard to hear, because the restaurant was so crowded.

"…To a walk?" I heard Vanessa saying.

"Uh, sure…" Felix said. "When?"

"After this," she replied.

"Okay," he stuttered.

"I'll pick you up, just tell your… girlfriend that you are, uh, shopping." She said mischievously.

I gasped and covered my mouth. Was my boyfriend going to go out with… her? I left the line and ran outside and sat on the sidewalk to cry.
